• The Dark Heart Of Broward

  I've always felt that Broward County land heir and powerbroker Miles Austin Forman was nothing but a menace to society. But I might be wrong -- he may only be a part-time menace to society. So I'm laying down a challenge: Somebody, anybody, give me an example of something good Forman has done for this town. Anything. Because I've never seen any indication that he cares for anything but expanding his own inherited fortune. He leeches off of government while the politicians leech off his mo

• Stop Davie Commons!

  I'm not sure why I feel the urge to communicate this. I didn't think I had particularly strong feelings about Davie Commons. One minute, I'm picking up my mail, which contained this lovely flyer from the Broward County Property Appraiser, and the next thing you know I'm running down the street, waving my shirt, screaming about some proposed shopping center. Even now I wish I could reach through the computer screen, grab you by your lapels and yell, Stop Davie Commons!Incidentally, Lori Parrish (

• Jury Finds Phallic Camel Responsible for Addiction; Cops Test the Crap Out of White Powder

  A guy who smoked two packs a day died because he was addicted to cigarettes, a Broward County jury has found, and the ruling could clear the way for 8,000 more identical trials. The ruling comes as news to me, not only because I could quit smoking at any time but because I believed Joe Camel when he said smoking wouldn't hurt me and would instead make me as cool as a dick-shaped camel. The attorney representing the man's widow ended the trial by Big Tobacco lost the trial but wins the youth vote

• Schools Chief Says Broward Pretty Much Colorblind, Tourism Types Fight Over Wet T-shirts

  Fig. 1: A colorblind Broward County resident.Black History Month is "extra special this year," according to James F. Notter, superintendent of the Broward County public schools. This is true somewhat because of the whole first black president thing but also because it seems all that racism stuff is just about over in Broward County. That's according to Notter's column in the Westside Gazette, in which he writes:Today, we live in a rainbow society where an individual's color is less and less impo

  Flickr user: laNDN Like any place else, Broward County has its share of conventional junkies, but our real addiction, it seems, is to the profits of the pain pill industry. If you have trouble wrangling a prescription in your home county or home state, Broward's the place to go.The first article in the Miami Herald's two-part series from earlier this month quoted Hollywood Police Capt.

• Builders Actually Started Work on Two Condos This Year

  The Christian Science Monitor is the latest in a long, distinguished line of national media outlets that have come to South Florida to report on our very busted housing bubble. This story reports on day laborers, who are just about nonexistent at the places where contractors, who are out of work themselves, used to pick them up. The CSM's story had a pretty stark reminder of the state of the housing industry:Broward County alone saw just two condo units and 17 single-family homes get under way i

• LeMieux's Appointment a Milestone for Broward

  As far as I can tell -- and I'm going by this list, the most immediate one available -- there has never been a U.S. Senator from Broward County. So what does it say about this county's history of incestuous, corrupt politics that the breakthrough would finally come not through an election but through an appointment and that it would take the form of a political player like George LeMeiux? The only election the guy's ever won was for the county's Republican Party.And that's really the most offens

• Man From Broward Found Dead in Tampa Bay Area

  A 49-year-old man named Scott Michael Barry, whose last known residence was in Broward County, was identified yesterday as the man found dead this weekend in a Pasco County lake. From the St. Petersburg Times: Neighbors along Wagon Wheel Lane found the body floating face down in the lake Saturday morning. By the water's edge were a backpack, bicycle and pack of generic cigarettes. Sheriff's spokesman Kevin Doll also said investigators found a jug of vodka that was nearly empty. On Saturday, Doll

  Would you elect this man?​With an ethics scandal rocking the Democratic powers of Broward County -- and just a few days after a Democratic mayoral candidate for one Broward city was arrested for pulling a gun on his daughter, the Democratic mayor of Broward County -- the Republican Party may have been looking pretty inviting to your average local political observer. Or at least until those Republicans took that precious piece of political capital to the gun range, where they riddled it with bu
